You got to love Mika above Schumi. 
10. Mika H?kkinen
11. Michael Schumacher
First of all Mansell should be ranked higher, but to rank Kimi and Lewis above him is just stupid.
29. Kimi R?ikk?nen
30. Lewis Hamilton
31. Nigel Mansell
And Ralf shouldn't even be on the list.

I'd have to place Michael Schumacher much higher than 11th (for me he is a contender for the top spot) but other than that the top places on this list look about right to me. As highly as I rate Schumacher, I think that Moss is an excellent pick for the top slot despite never winning the championship. Alan Henry knows his stuff re Formula 1. Then again, he's got a book to sell and a little controversy never hurt sales...

I would say Schumi couldn't go much higher than 7th on that list. But thats just my opinion.

IMO the driver that is lucky enough to be in the right seat at the right time will go the furthest in F1....just depends on which manufacturer/team has the hot ride each season. 
Just an observation, but it doesn't seem like every team has an equal shot at winning be it a race or a championship no matter who sits behind the wheel.

You're correct BUT, even this list of drivers would differ on keeping their foot planted thru eau rouge. As Hobbs would say, it's all about the size of their attachments
